- Companies know that smoking is bad for business. It’s associated with more illness and more sick days. And it costs more: extra cleaning, healthcare expenses and as much as 30% more in fire and property insurance premiums. More than a third of U.S. workplaces offered smoking cessation programs in 2020. Smoking is a problem companies don't ignore. But they do ignore something equally dangerous:…May 2023Social Environment

We present U.S. social connectedness magnitudes and trends as target phenomena to inform calls for policy-based approaches to promote social health.

- Population-based health studies demonstrate that sexual minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual persons) have less access to health care services than their heterosexual counterparts. For example, sexual minorities are more likely than heterosexuals to delay or forgo necessary medical care and to not have a regular health care provider. Research suggests that these disparities can be attributed…November 2021Social Environment
- This article analyses the impact of comprehensive education on health inequalities. Given that education is an important social determinant of health, it is hypothesised that a more equitable comprehensive system could reduce health inequalities in adulthood. To test this hypothesis, we exploited the change from a largely selective to a largely comprehensive system that occurred in the UK from…September 2021Early Childhood Education, Postsecondary Education, Social Environment
